Even though they were far away, the cheers from the mansion could be faintly heard from the end of the long street. Ordinary people could not hear it clearly, but for Divine Transformation Stage Perfected Cultivators, as long as they paid attention, they would naturally know what was going on.
In the dim room, Perfected Lord Tianlan and Perfected Lord Tiehu had already sat down. When there were no outsiders present, the two of them seemed to be much more casual. They did not really care whether they were sitting on an ordinary wooden chair or a throne or a lotus seat in one of the lofty palaces on Sky Dragon Mountain.
However, the room was still very quiet. Neither of them spoke, and it was precisely because of this that the burst of cheers sounded a little clearer.
After a while, Perfected Lord Tiehu suddenly broke the silence and said, "Do you think that the person we caught is Elder Ghost?"
Perfected Lord Tianlan thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Probably not. If that guy was caught so easily, he wouldn't have been able to hide from us for decades in the Immortal City. "
Perfected Lord Tiehu nodded slowly, seemingly agreeing with Perfected Lord Tianlan's words. After a while, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the room.
The two important figures in the room did not seem to have any reaction. After a while, the footsteps stopped outside the door, and then someone knocked lightly on the unlatched door three times.
"Come in," Perfected Lord Tiehu said.
The wooden door was pushed open with a creak, and Song Wenji walked in. She first called Perfected Lord Tiehu "Godfather", then turned her head and looked at Perfected Lord Tianlan.
Even though he was just sitting, Perfected Lord Tianlan's tall and sturdy figure was still very astonishing. At first glance, he seemed to be slightly taller than the petite Song Wenji. At the same time, this bald Perfected Lord had an extremely imposing manner. He was not angry, but his eyes were as deep as the sea, and seemed to contain wind and thunder. He really was like a god.
Song Wenji did not know if she was intimidated by the imposing manner of the number one person in Zhenxianmeng, but there was a strange expression on her face. She seemed to be afraid, but at the same time, she seemed to be worshipping and admiring him. Perhaps this was the common emotion that every ordinary person had when facing the gods and Buddhas. Even the practitioners with cultivation were no exception.
She respectfully bowed to Perfected Lord Tianlan and said softly, "Disciple Wenji pays respect to Perfected Lord Tianlan."
Perfected Lord Tianlan's expression was calm. His gaze lingered on the charming woman for a moment before he nodded. "Get up."
"Yes." Song Wenji stood up and silently walked to the side of Supreme Tiehu. She stood a step behind him. After a while, she could not help but lift her eyes and look at Supreme Tian Lan who was not far away.
…
When Song Wenji walked in, she was still holding her deceased sister's ashes and memorial tablet. However, both Supreme Tiehu and Supreme Tian Lan did not care about this. Only Supreme Tiehu asked her lightly, "How is it in the house? Did anyone make things difficult for you?"
Song Wenji replied, "Many people died. They are trying to catch the demons of the Devil Sect. Senior Brother Lu Chen treated me very well. He followed Lord True Monarch Tianlan's instructions and protected me. He even agreed to some of my unreasonable requests and even personally escorted me out. "
True Monarch Tiehu nodded and glanced at True Monarch Tianlan. True Monarch Tianlan smiled and said, "I was right, right? That kid is reliable."
Supreme Tiehu snorted and said, "He is very good. But I thought you would tell Xue Ying. I didn't expect you to only look for your own disciple. Are you really going to train a successor? "
Standing beside Supreme Tiehu, Song Wenji lowered her gaze. But after hearing this, a ray of light flashed across her eyes and she quickly calmed down.
Supreme Tian Lan smiled and said, "If I don't train him, why would I take him in as a disciple? As for you, Old Tiehu, although you have taken in quite a few disciples these years, I know you are not particularly satisfied with them. Now that you're old, could it be that you want to pass on your legacy to your goddaughter? "
Steel Pot True Lord sneered, rolled his eyes and said, "You talk too much. How I decide on this matter has nothing to do with you."
Supreme Tian Lan laughed and pointed at Song Wenji. "Let's not talk about other things. This little girl's aptitude is top-notch. She looks good. How about this, if you don't want to marry her, I will ask for your hand in marriage and betroth her to my disciple, Lu Chen. How about that? "
Once these words were spoken, the room immediately became silent. Both Tie Hu Deity and Song Wenji revealed a stunned expression. The only difference was, Tie Hu Deity looked surprised with some anger, while Song Wenji, with a perfect amount of shyness, in the deepest part of her eyes, a trace of sadness gently flashed past.
After a while, Supreme Tiehu snorted and waved his hand to reprimand, "Don't give me that. Don't think that you can push your luck just because you have the upper hand today. Let me tell you, Wenji is my most beloved daughter. She's a priceless treasure to me. Even if you give me the most precious treasure in the world, I won't do it, not to mention giving her back to your disciple as his wife! You'd better give up on this idea! "
Supreme Tian Lan shook his head and smiled. He turned to look at Song Wenji and said, "You are really stingy. You talk big, but why don't you listen to what the little girl is thinking? What if she likes my disciple? " As he said this, he drew a big circle in front of him and said with a smile, "Little girl, let me tell you, in the future, all my properties may be passed on to Lu Chen. If you marry him, you won't have to worry about anything for the rest of your life. How about it, are you willing?"
Supreme Tiehu looked a little annoyed, but he seemed to have thought of something. He turned his head and looked at Song Wenji suspiciously, saying, "Wenji, what are you thinking?"
Song Wenji bit her lips and knelt down in front of Supreme Tiehu. She said, "Godfather, you have done so much for me. Without you, there would be no Wenji. Wenji has no request. I only wish to serve godfather for the rest of my life. I only hope that godfather will take pity on me and not drive me away. Otherwise, I can only be a lonely soul with no one to rely on. "
At the end of her words, her shoulders trembled and her body trembled. She seemed to be crying, as if she was very sad.
Supreme Tiehu was shocked. He quickly stood up and helped Song Wenji up. Her face was full of tears, like a pear blossom in the rain. True Monarch Tie Hu's face revealed a pained expression as he said, "Why did you do this, why did you do this! My dear daughter, don't cry. I have no such intention, no such intention! "
As he said that, he turned around and glared at Perfected Lord Tian Lan, saying angrily, "You're a Perfected Lord after all. How dare you spout such frivolous words to scare my obedient daughter?"
True Lord Tianlan stared deeply at True Lord Tiehu, only to see him hurriedly comforting the crying Song Wenji. His expression was anxious, and he did not have the bearing of a Spirit Severing True Lord at all.
Supreme Tian Lan was amused. He let out a sigh of relief and apologized with a smile. He then stood up and walked out of the house, leaving the godfather and goddaughter alone.
True Lord Tianlan looked at the sky as he stood on the long street. Then, he looked at the bustling house in the distance and the sounds of fierce fighting that once again rang out. He also heard the comforting words coming from the house behind him. A deep smile appeared on his face.
With his hands behind his back, he looked up at the sky. At that moment, he felt that all the living beings in the world were probably just mediocre people.
With a flip of the palm, the clouds and rain were overturned. There were few difficult things in the world.
